I was talking about mini-window resize, and that alone.  I was asking
whether using the asymmetric method when the trigger is resize of the
mini-window would do the job.

Situations where mini-window grows so much as to resize windows other
than the one immediately above it are very rare, so I don't think we
should be bothered by them, at least not initially.
